How to bypass .htpasswd for certain IPs with Apache
If you would like to setup Apache authentication on your website to block out unwanted users, example a development site with public access and allow your ipaddress to bypass the authentication.
Setting up your .htaccess or vhost configuration file.
Basic Usage
Add the following, with your variables
Order deny,allow Deny from all AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd AuthName "Protected Area" require valid-user Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx SetEnvIf X-FORWARDED-FOR xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx allowed Allow from env=allowed Satisfy Any
You will want to replace the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with your ipaddress.
This can be put in your vhost file or .htaccess file.
Wordpress wp-admin directory
Another example would be for wordpress wp-admin folder
<Directory "/var/www/wordpressdomain/wp-admin/"> AuthUserFile /path/to/your/.htpasswd AuthName "Please Log In" AuthType Basic require valid-user Order allow,deny Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Satisfy any </Directory>
This will protect your admin files from everyone but your ipaddress.
